Enthusiastic Literacy Teacher

Literacy is the ability to read, write, speak and listen in ways that will allow us to communicate effectively to a variety of different audiences and to make sense of the world. Reading and writing, when integrated with speaking, listening and viewing and critical thinking, constitutes valued aspects of literacy in modern life. Literacy is a critical component to ensure all students have the best chance to succeed in their studies and everyday life.

My name is Nathalie, I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Education and Physics from the University of Ilorin.

I am highly enthusiastic and passionate about education and teaching. I make sure to take an approach that is both structured and flexible so I do not scare my student away and at the same time achieve what is expected at the end of sessions.

I have a passion for building confidence in my students, and I believe that this sense of confidence is highly integral in the development of every child's independent learning skills.

When I meet a student, I make sure to properly assess the level that the student is so I can then work on tailoring my tuition style and process to meet their specific needs.

Over the years as a teacher, I have come to realize that the art of private tutoring compared to the classroom mode of tuition is a wonderful and more effective way to teach especially for students who are slow learners and as such cannot catch up in the classroom environment.

One-on-one lessons offers me as a teacher the ability to gear every moment to suit each child’s unique outlook, thus enabling us to achieve quicker results.

I believe the key is to first get an understanding of a student’s motivation, learning technique and interests, then plan and tailor classes carefully and accordingly.

I have also learnt that situations and attitudes often change and as such, it is highly essential for me as a tutor to be alert, empathetic and flexible to ensure the best results.

Also, hard work and dedication are also crucial to achieving your goal, and throughout my classes I look for ways to get my students enthused and keen to put in the time, which will help them with their independent study and it is only when I think they are working to the best of their ability that I am satisfied.
